Strickland Arms

went with our ladies group. It is a while since we have been here. The pub was quiet . we all enjoyed our food as there is an extensive menu the cook did well to serve us all at the same time. The young girl serving us was excellant and very friendly.

Beautiful peaceful accommodation. Perfect beds and lining. Warm showers and heating. Had a great night's sleep. Lovely couple running the pub and accommodation. Gorgeous breakfast included. Really interesting interior of the pub-lots of memorabilia and stories. Focus on sustainability and supporting the local community. Nice walks from the pub and lots to see nearby by car too. Can get Busy in the evenings so get booked and possibly order meals ahead.

Amazing welcoming staff and fantastic pies! We were a family with friends and 2 dogs and we were so well looked after, a real surprise after reading some not so kind reviews! The owner remembered us from the Friday and very kindly gave my son some free tokens for the games machine which kept him happy and begging to go back the pub (never a bad thing LOL)

Booked this place for 2 nights as we were attending a wedding arrived at 3.30 to a place that looked like it had shut down windows were dirty and there was ****s everywhere car park was uneven and also had ****s everywhere looked at where the yurts were and everything including plant pots were full of ****s I phoned the telephone number numerous times to get no answer my sister also phoned she got to leave a voicemail and left a message we realised we could not get into rooms till 5 but with it being a pub thought we could at least get into premises we had also sent 2 emails on the Sunday before our arrival and had no answer so we thought the place had shut down going by the neglected look of the place so we decided we would need to look for alternative accommodation as we had wedding to get ready for the next day sister got phone call at 10pm from them that night but as she was already in bed did not hear it when we got back from wedding that night she had received 2 emails from Strickland second one stating that if we had not paid the balance of £200 within 3 days they were taking it to the court my sister was very upset so we have paid it so in total we have paid them £400 for nothing think they need to look at there customer service as it is appalling the same as the outside of there pub WOULD AVOIDE THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAQUE

Great room in the pub, fabulous staff, I had the best steak pie ever, and I’ve been a chef for 52 years. Service was superb, the owners could not have been more helpful, the breakfast was great which is unusual these days . We had just driven up from Cornwall for 9 hours with a very tired driver, wife and puppy but got delayed due to traffic etc, but got the best reception ever. We will be back.

Can honesty say we have never had such welcoming hosts they can not do enough. Were on our second night in Lina's hut which is clean, stylish and very spacious which is brilliant with a crazy 4 year old 😂. THE FOOD is amazing can't praise it enough GET THE PIE you would not be disappointed can't wait to come back 😁

Hearty home cooked pies and puddings were a real treat at this cosy country pub with rooms. Our bedroom in the main building was spacious and comfortable. The local WIP beer a winner too. A great stop off point on our way to the Scottish Highlands.

Excellent pub, friendly staff great a**osphere. Delicious food,good choice of beer on the bar. You will not be disappointed, highly recommended. Many thanks for a lovely evening, Frances and Julian

Definitely the best pies we have ever tasted and probably the best in the country. Food was excellent: solid and good quality. A quaint and quirky place? Yes, and in a very nice way. You are given a warm welcome, literally: our room was beautifully warm and had lots of soft fluffy towels. Anton and Penny are excellent hosts. We really enjoyed our stay. This is just 10mins off the M6 and ideal for travellers. If you want a few days' walking, Haweswater and its associated fells are close by.
